Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The Committee received representations in objection to the application which covered the following issues:

     i.        Building the flats would create significant parking issues.

    ii.        Access for cycle parking was outside the scope of the planning application.

   iii.        The cycle parking did not meet disability requirements.

  iv.        There was an issue with people parking and blocking access to properties on Water Street. If the application was approved the problem would be exacerbated.

   v.        Expressed concern about contractors, there was a lot of rubbish and items which had been discarded.

  vi.        The developer had no right of access from the rear of the property.

 vii.        Expressed concern regarding overlooking from the first floor balconies onto Water Street and Water House properties.

viii.        The quality of life of the existing residents would suffer as a result of the proposed development.   

Justin Bainton (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

Resolved (unanimously) to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the officers.
